1 Claim.

This invention relates to a cambric and linen tape dispenser which is particularly adapted to supply cambric and linen insulation simultaneously for application to power line cables of various sizes.

An object of the invention is to provide a device that will supply the cambric and linen in the proper rotation more tightly than it can be applied by present day conventional hand methods.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device that is available to the cable thereby conserving material otherwise damaged by dirt and other foreign matter.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device that is simple in construction, eicient in operation performing the equivalent of a factory job enabling unskilled labor to increase their productive qualities and also eliminating hazards accompanying the operation thereof.

With the above and other objects and adv-antages in view the invention consists of the novel details of construction, arrangement and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of an embodiment of the invention;

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof;

Figure 3 is a front view; and

Figure 4 is a sectional View on the line 4--4 of Figure 2.

Referring more in detail to the drawing the reference numberal I designates a bracket having an arcuate shaped base I2 and side `flanges I4 to which are secured by means of welding, soldering or the like, the extensions I6 of the circular sides I8. Secured to the center of the base I2, intermediately of the sides I8 by an extension-20 similar in shape and size t0 the ex tension I6 is the central or dividing wall 22.

Mounted transversely of the sides I8 and wall 22 is the bolt shaft 24 having the knurled nuts 26 on the extreme ends thereof which extend through the sides I8. The shaft 24 is provided with rollers 28 positioned intermediate the sides on opposite sides of the wall 22.

In Figure 3 it will be seen that the base I2I of the bracket I0 has upwardly inclined cutting edges 30 which are inclined so that right or left hand cuts may be made on the material 32 wound on the rollers 28. It will be see in Figure 4 that 2 the material is trained through parallel slots 34 in the base I2 and that while the edges are in inclined planes the slots are in straight planes and parallel to each other.

With the material trained through the slots as shown in Figure 4 the necessary tension can be applied to thematerial on the rolls to make even spirals on cables which will fit within the arcuate shaped base I2 thus the material will not be covered with dirt and can be wound immediately upon the cable from the roll.

The material can be cut as desired by the cutting edges 30.

It is believed that the operation and construction of the device will be apparent to those skilled in the art and it is to be understood that changes may be made in the details of construction, ar-` rangement and combination of parts, providing they fall within the spirit of the inventionvand the yscope of the appended claims.

Havingthus described the invention what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:

A device of the character described, comprising a concavo-ccnvex shaped base which is adapted to engage and conform to the curvature of an electrical cable, inner, outer :and intermediate extensions on said base extending outwardly of the convex face thereof, inner, outer and intermediate, circular walls. secured to the extensions on said base means mounted transversely of `said walls to mount different insulating materials thereon between andk separated by said intermediate wall to permit the different materials to be unwound therefrom, inclined cutting edges on said base and parallel relatively spaced straight elongated slots intermediate said edgesr through which the material is trained for application to the electrical cable.
